Albertsons double coupon scenarios

Double are here! These coupons (technically “Twice the Value” coupons) will double the value of up to three manufacturer’s coupons, up to $1 each. You’re out of luck if the coupon is valued at $1.01+. They are valid Sunday – Tuesday (10/3-10/5).

Some of the scenarios aren’t quite correct. You have on here to use a .5o coupon and then double for $1.00. They will only double up to the price of the coupon, so a .50 coupon will only be doubled to .50.

I see that too… but I noticed that the out of pocket totals are still correct. I think they just put that you’re using the twice the value coupon and it works for up to $1. Easier than typing it in for each deal specifically. But the yogurt for instance is $1.19 then you use a .30 coupon and double that for a total of .60 off. Your total should be .59. Hope that helps.

Other great deals I found today-
The best one was del monte vegetables (think I just saw green beans) for .59 & DM canned tomatoes for .79-used the $1/5 coupon + double and if you buy 6 (so buy one extra than the coupon) you get a $2 Catalina! I figured out that just about made it free-got 4 vegs & 2 tomatoes. Now I am looking for another DM coupon (have to check where it came from-was from one of the inserts) to do it again! the fruit was included too, but they were about 1.29 to start with-so too high a price for me!
Also some flavors of the Progresso soup was $1 and there are $1/4 coupon in a recent insert =.50 each. They were pretty low on the soup-except chicken noodle, but I also got a rain check for our favorite-Chicken Tuscany (I add whole grain noodles and maybe a mixed grainy rice sometimes more beans-usually black & it is really good-even my finicky son likes it & will eat all the grainy extras! so lots more healthy too).
Also I got cover girl mascara for $2-not too bad-was about 30% off & the $1 coupon + double.
Barilla pasta is 1.69-there are .75 coupons so = .19
I had a $1 off 2 ronzoni noodles-but got the wheat type which are 1.25-but it wasn’t good for that type.

I go to the Albertson’s on 4th plain in Vancouver. I went at 7 this morning and they had TONS of all GM cereal left. I used (2) $1/2 and (1) $1/3 IP coupons (I was so upset that I had ran out of $1/2 coupons, and I guess the new ones are all off of three), which made the cereal $1 a box (for 8 boxes) after the twice the value.

They also had advertised that the Yoplait yogurt cups were .39 a piece (with the in-store coupon) with a limit of 12. My husband has one of these everyday with his lunch, so we go through quite a bit. I had a $1/8 IP coupon so after that, the in store coupon, and the twice the value, i ended up paying .22 a cup! I put them all in a plastic bag, and threw them in the freezer so when we run low in the fridge, I can restock with the frozen ones.

And also a side note- Anyone from Vancouver, go to the 4th plain store. They are awesome there. The lady let me use my 2 sets of twice the value coupons, as long as I did it in two transations, and she never gave me a hard time. The other day when I went in there one of the checkers ran across the store to go get something for me that I had forgotten. They are so much nicer then the people at Padden Parkway!

Email me at melaniebrawley@hotmail.com. I live close to the 4th plain store and would love to meet up with you to go double shopping at Albie’s! I prefer 4th plain a million times more than Padden, even if it’s older….the cashiers matter way more to me that the atmosphere:)

The link for the Wholly Guacamole SS coupon is actually $1.00 off 2 packs. And the in-ad $1.00 Whole Guacamole coupon from a previous Sunday circular that expires on 10/9, states that it can’t be doubled on the coupon (unless there are Albie’s that are still willing to do it).

The Fresh Express salad kit bags are $1.88 with in-ad coupon. Several of the bags at the Milwaukie store had .75/1 peelies stuck to them. double those and get the bags for .38 each!! the artisanal coupon would be a better deal, but I don’t think those are included for the $1.88.

Also, Bumblebee Tuna is on sale for .50 each. The last time that Albies had a big sale like that, all the cans at the Milwaukie store had peelies for $1/5. So, if you have those, get 5 cans for .50!!
